What we are doing

Works are now extended until 20 December.

In order to complete construction of new 132Kv substation (Bromford BSP) National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) are installing a drain to serve the facility, for removal of excess rainwater. Once installed, this shall be fully adopted and maintained by Severn Trent Water and shall connect into their existing infrastructure on Birmingham Road on the B4118.

NGED will have a specialist team working on the B4118 within each prescribed sections, starting with section one through to section seven, working towards the substation. Works shall start at the village end moving towards the substation. Whilst the substation is initially feeding HS2 construction needs, capacity could be available in the future to support local industry/housing plus assist in the future of the governments Net Zero Targets.

• NGED will undertake the work in seven sections in total, between 12 August and 4 November 2024.
